In my eyes, I followed Xiang Yun to the viewing platform, saying that I wanted to have a 'thousand-mile marriage' with Zhen Baoyu of the Zhen family in Jiangnan!"

In one sentence, the scene immediately became cold.

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly explained: "Sister Lin is talking about the telegraph machine, which is a new thing that our father just made..."

She vividly described the functions of the telegraph machine and what happened on the rostrum at that time, and then said: "Yesterday, the emperor specially held a court meeting for this purpose. Officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital participated, and our father also went...

"

Although the Queen Mother told the Emperor to take care of himself, how could Emperor Longyuan be able to hold it in?

On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, an order was given to hold a court meeting the next day.

Speaking of which, this was the second time after the palace examination that the emperor took the initiative to appear in front of people. Compared with the first time, he was obviously more motivated this time, and the court meeting went as smoothly as Emperor Longyuan expected.

.

In the past, every time he wanted to implement a new deal, he would trigger collective opposition from the courtiers, but this time, except for a few who were forced to do so, most of the important ministers acquiesced to the promotion of wired telegraphy.

After all, the more senior you are in the center, the more you will realize the importance of this thing.

What's more, the emperor doesn't want to roll it out across the country at once, but plans to pilot it in Zhili first, set up a telegraph office in the province, and set up a telegraph office in the state capital - for the time being, it will only go to the state capital, and when it is officially rolled out,

Then add a telegraph station in the county.

The financial and people's resources required for the pilot project cannot be said to be insignificant compared to the convenience brought by telegraph, but it is definitely not a waste of people and money. What else is there to choose?

The most important thing is that Jiao Shun was not prepared to take control of this thing in his own hands, but publicly stated that this was the responsibility of the General Affairs Department, and the General Affairs Department should preside over the pilot, with the Ministry of Industry and Engineering co-organizing it.

You know, the General Administration Department was Leng Yamen as early as the Ming Dynasty.

In this dynasty, although they had a little bit of real power by presiding over the official newspaper, every issue of the newspaper was submitted to the emperor and the cabinet for review, so the so-called real power was actually just a mirror image.

It was like pie in the sky. Suddenly, there was a great opportunity to extend authority to the whole country. How could the Secretary of General Affairs miss it?

The general secretary was so happy that snot bubbled out of his nose. From then on, the emperor never asked him to speak. Anyone who had any ulterior motives would be sprayed back by him and his two deputies. How could this person in charge of a newspaper be so bad at debating?

This court meeting can be said to be the first time since the implementation of the New Deal that the emperor has experienced what it means to follow the rules and regulations. Not to mention the ease of it, it is as if he has once again regained the function of the lower third route.

Jiao Shun also shined in the court meeting. Correspondingly, after the court was over, the expressions of the high officials in the court looked at him with more solemnity and fear.

If he had to leave others alone, he would be worried that Mu Xiu would be destroyed by Lin Feng, but he was already like a rat crossing the street, everyone was shouting to beat him, and he didn't care whether he was attacked with more or less force.

The book returns to its true story.

However, Shi Xiangyun said that in order to change the topic and prevent Lin Daiyu from embarrassing Baochai any more, Shi Xiangyun deliberately added extravagant details to the plot.

Needless to say, Jia Tanchun listened leisurely and fascinated, and even Yingchun and Baoqin also listened very attentively.

Lin Daiyu was also listening, but she never paid much attention to these things, so she became distracted while listening.

Xichun, on the other hand, recited sutras secretly at some point and did not listen to these secular remarks at all.

As for Xue Baochai...

She listened carefully, but she couldn't help but be distracted.

Although Lin Daiyu just said a few words, it was enough for Baochai to complete in his mind Jia Baoyu's performance on the engineering school field.

So while listening to the story of Jiao Shun's dazzling skills that surpassed all heroes, he also imagined that Jia Baoyu went to engineering school and still clung to Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu. He was not willing or dared to communicate with his colleagues, and his colleagues naturally ignored his embarrassment.

scene.

Xue Baochai had mixed feelings in her heart.

While waiting for Shi Xiangyun to bring out the Western pastries and mentioning that Jiao Shun specially ordered his favorite ice porridge, Baochai's complex emotions rose to unprecedented heights.

It doesn’t matter if he has talent, skill, ambition, and luck. How can he not be so compassionate towards his son and not have the tenderness and considerateness of his husband? Who wouldn’t envy the two combined?!

It happened that this man once discussed marriage with me, but in order to avoid risks, she missed him and chose Jia Baoyu instead...
